It’s been a while since we had a genuine Treehouse challenge. So, today I stumbled upon an excellent opportunity for each Treeper to test their mental stamina, and the contest has benefits.
Yesterday Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was asked on Fox News, essentially, why he could not relate to people [video segment below fold]. Ron responded by saying, essentially, ‘hey, who cares, did you see how much money we’re raising‘. People immediately started being snarky and discussing it. However, the real answer can be found in this Treehouse challenge below.
♦ Here’s the rules: (1) Watch the video below which is prompted to start at 2:14. (2) You cannot walk away for a break, you cannot pause the video, you must sit and watch it without the assistance of alcohol, medication or any other cognitive numbing substance. (3) How long were you able to watch the video? (4) Everything is on the honor system. (5) Respond in the comments with your honest answer of how long you were able to watch. (6) Whoever lasts the longest is the winner.
Turn off any other distractions. Get yourself mentally prepared. Ready?
Okay. WATCH:
Be honest.
How many seconds did you last before you just couldn’t take it any longer?
Respond with your honest assessment of your stamina in the comments.

Here was Ron DeSantis being asked why he cannot relate to people.
I stoppd watching Mrs. Desantis at 8:00
you are some kind of tough
I would have really liked to win this, but could only stand it to 4:15. Her non stop chatter is like an oncoming locomotive. In another context, I would have assumed that she was high on something
I was going to say something similar, but I don’t think she was at the White House with Hunter.
Is there a bobblehead for Ron? That’s all I see as he speaks.
33 seconds and I thought about suicide
i didn’t WANT to laugh….
😂😂😂😂
Only lasted 1:36 and then my head started hurting
Apparently she didn’t leave all of her coke at the Whitehouse. Barely one minute before shutting that shit down. It went for 44 minutes? My God, who could watch all of that? A mental midget masochist?
And really, after that who in their right mind would click on a video of a dumbshite who would marry that THING?
Made it to 5:35 mark. First time I’ve heard her speak and hopefully the last. No wonder Meatball bobs his head when pressed.
Casey D. is much more of a polished professional than her husband.
When I see her in action it makes me think his whole presidential campaign was her doing.
I made it to the part about Mamie loves corn. What, like 55 seconds? I tried, Treeper Peeps, I tried.
1:22 … although I almost didn’t listen at all when I saw her t-shirt.
I must confess: it took about 30 seconds for me to sqirm, another 15 seconds or so to stop swearing and about 5 seconds to shut it off. Sorry, but to be honest, I could listen to an idiot for a longer timeframe. The woman sinks below the level of a moronic narcsssist in my estimation. Now, if this were something I needed to assess in preparation for a trial or interview the result of which would threaten my immediate survival, I’d possibly get through it. But why inflict such mental pain on myself? Winning here offers nothing but a pyrrhic victory. Why burn my internal organs and spike my blood pressure? So, I am relieved to lose.
Fetterman, DeSantis and Biden. Behind these puppets stands a driven woman. Think even with Fox giving him the answers he had nothing.
About 20-30 seconds per clip.
They both seem like they’re both on some type of amphetamine – her blabbing about nothing 900 mph and him blinking his eyes uncontrollably and swaying his head arrogantly.
And I take exception to you tricking Treepers calling this a mental stamina test. It is psychological torture.
Six minutes 3 seconds… she can’t call him by his name…The Governor. I’m from Florida and can’t believe the 180 I’ve done with these two. Disgusting
You are in Jacksonville, do you recall if Mrs. DeSantis was a motormouth on the local TV shows that she hosted.
Yeah, it was a hen party. I watched longer than I normally would for one reason, there was a police sergeant standing guard, just over Casey DeSantis`s right shoulder. I was watching him to see if he would take out his service weapon and empty the magazine into his head. Then I realized, after four minutes and thirty-nine seconds, he had ear plugs in. So, that is how long I watched, but not for the content.
yeah, people that watch the View could dial into this blabbery
62 seconds
8:57 in it was clear she did not have anything but the frustrations of dealing with kids. She is like Ron, focused on her power position within the system not he humanity of her children. She does not get it just like Ron. She does not relate to others but for what they offer to her and political advancement. Two peas in a pod.
her, 45 seconds. him, almost ot the end… poor equivalence between “we raised a lot of money” and “that means a lot of people will vote for me”, esp given his RINO backers.
I actually lasted 2 minutes and 23 seconds. Her voice was grating and that non-stop, motor-mouth, mindless chattering was beyond irritating. I believe I lasted so long, because I was in shock – what the heck was that idiot blathering on about?? I shut her down. I never want to encounter that person again. Then I read the other comments – laughing at others reactions helped clear my mind of the garbage..
.
I didn’t listen to RDS, as I can’t – have heard him before, and now, I just can’t do it – everything about the dufus is irritating.
Lasted 5 mins, lots of blathery! I cannot help but notice what Casey is wearing. I am looking fwd to having Melania appear in public again to exemplify what a classy intelligent woman of integrity looks and sounds like.
About Ron Detraitoris, more blathery but he looked so guarded and then relieved that the follow up question wasn’t “Ya you raised money but what about Trump, you forgot to answer as your head bobbled around”.
Good Lord have mercy. I made it to about 6 minutes before I felt my ears bleeding.
I’m very competitive, but even I can’t take this thoroughly obnoxious woman.
She never once mentions anything sweet or awesome about her kids. Or proclaims how deeply she loves her kids.
Just bad behavior anecdotes.
I get the distinct impression she only has the babies for photo ops; the rest of their time is spent with nannies. I feel sorry for the kids.
And just from a style standpoint, who the hell wears capris with a tee shirt and stillettos?
I was halfway expecting to see her in yet another brightly colored leather jacket with that stupid “where woke goes to die” embroidery on the back.
Omg I need to make another pot of coffee now.
4 minutes. Would anyone have given Melania the same air time
I think not..
two thoughts.
punctuation is your friend.
just because it happened to you, doesn’t make it interesting.
That was awesome. Perfect correlation.
Perfect song choice for that. OMG, SHUT UP!!!!!!!
Sorry to say I didn’t keep track of the time…but I did watch enough to get through the kid chatter and hoping it would become something of substance…but wow…she can talk! Does she even take a breath?
at least her head doesn’t bobble….I can’t watch him. At. All.
I made almost a minute and felt like I needed a shower
2 minutes 20 secs. Friggin motor mouth that resembles nails on a chalkboard. Is she on drugs?
30 seconds
She is freaking annoying
The reason DeSantis can’t relate to people is because he can’t get a word in edgeways when he’s with his wife.
Only about 45 seconds, not to be mean, not interested in her children’s antics, so she lost me. Those of us with children have the same stories , cue eye roll. reminds me of a stepford wife
I tried to eat cereal while watching
#granolasuddenlytastesawful
I cant bring myself to watch even a second.
I only like watching the funny Miguelifornia/ Dilley videos Sundance posts on his Twitter account.
They make fun of Desanctus spectacularly!
Please Clap
She lost me at “duck.” I did. Much prefer a Kamala word salad to this. At least those are funny; this is mind numbing.
7.18 minutes. Enough of “the little ones.”
5 sec. reminds me of mother in law. lots of blabbing, no substance, all bullshit. same tollerance for any corporate media. i guess I’m weak.
3:11!
Oh wait, it was cued at 2:14.
Never mind!
Stupid Moms For Liberty ! We ran 2 schools board candidates one was a tea party member DeSantis did not endorse our member. She ran against a black man dem who sits on the school board. He wrote a check to DeSantis so DeSantis did not endorse the tea party candidate .She WON without his endorsement Sho what has done we still have WOKE in the schools the books are still there and Citizens Alliance also was not happy with the Governor.Disney really still woke pride parade and how about those great Disney cruises filled with the LGBTQ soon to add P on those boats!
ENOUGH RON Byron Donalds for Governor
One minute forty two seconds. Sorry, not interested!
95 seconds. I win.
Went down at “duck on the water”. But I’m out of the water if I see fins or lightening.
I lasted less time then it took Kramer to say, “I’m out!”
I don’t think I lasted even 30 seconds. Does she even take a breath??? Non-sensical blather, in my opinion.
I’m sure she has a lovely family, but I have only so many trips around the sun left in life. 19 seconds and I’m out.
At the 7:12 mark, basically the same time the gentleman in the audience got up to leave.
She’s trying too hard to relate. also, obvious she’s trying to be Palin with the Mama tee-shirt thing
That was the RDS campaign’s response to Moms for Liberty.
I love a good challenge and have been know to take one for the team so i lasted 4 minutes and 30 seconds before I had to run away.
One of my all time favs!
5 min, 48 seconds
Easy to see the RGA plan to promote RDS , eff Kim Reynolds.
I made it 1:36 and turned it off when I woke up.
LOL
Maybe it’s the mother in me, but I enjoyed it. I despise watching videos, so quit after 2 minutes. She was telling stories about her children, and I thought during the 2 minutes I listened to she was charming and relatable.
4:13 and it will take a while to recover. ;-
Me too. Got to the 4:23 mark and had to quit.
I tell my sons and daughter, it’s not “WHAT” you. say, it’s “HOW” you say it…..That was brutal……3 minutes as a courtesy, hoping it would get better.
